→Superbowl comparison
::I don't know how that would compute given that the RWC market is all over the world with different broadcasters all with different ads, and some who sell their product on a PPV basis with no ads. Also, the value of an ad at halftime will obviously always be less than an ad that is in the middle of the game. I think you are trying to measure a worldwide sport through the narrow lens of your USA upbringing. --[[User:DamianJohn|DamianJohn]] 23:18, 29 January 2012 (EST)

::::Wow. Do you even read the links you provide as sources? That is a list for the sale of advertising in Ireland, a very small part of the total viewership and broadcasters. In fact I suspect that RTE was probably not even the only broadcaster in Ireland for the RWC. In order to gain a meaningful comparision you would need to add up the rates of all the broadcasters in all countries that took the RWC. This would be quite some exercise as I know there were 4 in NZ, and at least 2 in Aus and 2 in the UK. You would also need to factor in the point that several countries (including the US) had the RWC as a PPV event ($200 would get you all the games I believe, though don't ask me to refind the source for that). In short, as I said above, the comparison is meaningless and your attempt to make it only shows you are restricted by your Amerocentric view. Not everything in the world can be translated into US terms of reference. --[[User:DamianJohn|DamianJohn]] 00:21, 30 January 2012 (EST)
